Mediterranean at Anthony’s Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in Orlando (Thornton Park) [R/V/D]

An Orlando original that traces its roots to New York, this Thornton Park icon has been in business since 1998.

Don Tomasino at Tomasino’s throughout Greater Orlando [W]

If you’re looking to “join the family,” as this restaurant encourages its guests to do, there are few better ways to do it than with their signature masterpiece. Technically a white pie, it gets topped with breaded eggplant, spinach and tomatoes before being drizzled with a special pink sauce for finishing.

Fennel Sausage at Wolfgang Puck Grand Café in Lake Buena Vista (Disney Springs) [R]

Rather than try to say something about Wolfgang Puck that hasn’t been said before, we’ll simply tell you that this pizza alone is worth the drive to Disney Springs. The pie blends fennel sausage, roasted garlic and peppers, pepperoncini and herbed ricotta for a taste of Italy you’ll want again and again.

Jason’s Mom’s Slice at Lazy Moon Pizza in Orlando (UCF) [R/S]

Lazy Moon is known for its giant slices, but it’ll make you a whole pie, too—even for the one that’s specified as a slice. We’ve never met Jason’s mom, but this treat’s chicken, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomatoes, baked ranch and baked “Jason’s Mom’s Sauce” speaks to her eclectic taste in good pizza.

Napoli at Armando’s in Winter Park [R]

Seafood fanatics, rejoice! Shrimp, calamari and shelled mussels team up with mozzarella and fresh plum tomato sauce for this scintillating choice. It’s appropriately named after the region from which the Winter Park eatery’s namesake founder—and its authentic Italian cuisine—hails. Look for a second location to open in College Park soon.

Romano Ranch at Pizza Xtreme in Orlando (Dr. Phillips) [W/V/D]

Carciofi Con Uovo at Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria in Winter Springs [R]

Don’t worry; this choice is a lot easier to eat than it is to pronounce.

Shishito Pepper at Luma on Park in Winter Park [R/V]

If we’re being accurate, this pizza isn’t technically called “shishito pepper” on the Winter Park eatery’s menu, but it is the first of the three listed ingredients. The blistered namesake peppers get paired with goat cheese and lemon oil for a pizza that won’t soon be forgotten—and that you won’t want to go long without.

Maui Wowie at Mellow Mushroom throughout Greater Orlando [W]

Castello’s Special at Castello’s Gourmet Kitchen in Windermere [R/D]

Broccoli Rabe & Sausage at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in Orlando (Dr. Phillips) & Altamonte Springs [R]

Sure, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza is a multi-state chain, but it started right here in Florida and has been part of Orlando’s pizza landscape for years. This signature creation starts with a traditional pie before adding bitter Italian greens sautéed in garlic and olive oil along with Anthony’s Italian sausage.

Deliziosa at Terramia Italian Ristorante & Wine Bar in Altamonte Springs [W]

Looking for a pizza that will broaden your horizons? Look no further than this singular pie from host and owner Rosario Spagnolo. Homemade mozzarella, Pantelleria capers and caramelized red onions are matched with hearty Norwegian salmon, resulting in Norway invading Italy in a very tasty way.

Cuban at Pie-Fection in Orlando (MetroWest) [R]

Despite the name, this pizza doesn’t transform the popular sandwich into a pizza. Instead, it throws steak, onions, Cuban mojo and oregano onto a traditional red pie. If your sweet tooth needs tending, try one of Pie-Fection’s dessert pizzas while you’re there.

Shrimp & Bacon at Goodfella’s in Orlando (Alafaya Commons) [R/D/S]

The Kitchen Sink at The Wine Barn in Winter Park [W]

You might not expect to find pizza at a place with a name like The Wine Barn, but you’ll be glad when you do.

Boardwalk Eggplant Supreme at Boardwalk Pizza in Winter Park [W/V/S]

When a pizza place has been around for more than two decades like Boardwalk, you know they’re doing something right. Our favorite white pie from their menu pairs eggplant, onions and sliced tomatoes with a blend of herbs and spices for a taste that’s hard to beat.

Widowmaker at Prato in Winter Park [R]

We’re not sure why this pizza has such a threatening name; all we know is that it’s delicious. A true celebration of Italian cuisine, the pie features hazelnut romesco with fennel sausage, cavolo nero and farm egg—which leads us to believe it could be a great breakfast pizza, too.
